Bath time

Does anyone else have a baby who hates taking a bath? Ds loved his bath in the kitchen sink for a long time and then overnight he hated it! I have tried bathing him in the bathtub and with his big brother and my mil bought him a duck tub and we tried that, he hated them all. He screams and cries and just wants out. He acts scared! I can only bathe him with me. Anyone else dealing with this? Any advice?

DS isn't much into baths but LOVES the shower! We just give him showers instead. I figure eventually he will be taking showers anyway so this is just one less transition (bath to shower) he will have to make.

I have one of those shower heads that's has a hose attached to it and my lo loves to play with that. I usually end up being sprayed but its worth it. Its kind of a mix between a shower and a bath. And it makes it allot easier to wash him off.

I had the same issue with DD. She loved her infant bath tub then just didn't one day. She made it very difficult because she would try to climb out and it started to feel unsafe to me so I got her that duck blow up tub. That didn't go well at first either. DD was super scared so the next night I tired it again but took a lot of time with her to help ease her into it by kind of playing with it first. I filled it up in the regular tub and I sat with her outside the tub and we slapped on it & splashed the water for awhile. When she started having fun with it I put her in it and she had a blast, now she loves bath time again. Maybe trying warming your lo up to it before actually trying to do the bath? Hth and good luck!
